You must try these addictively sweet and spicy Candied Jalapenos. They are easy to make and require only three ingredients: sugar, water, and jalapeño peppers.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 6 sliced jalapeño peppers seeds in or removed

Instructions
 

  • Combine the sugar, water, and jalapenos in a pot over medium heat. Stir until the sugar has dissolved, simmer for about 15 minutes on low heat. Remove from the heat and let cool completely.
  • Store in an airtight jar for up to 10 days in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Use gloves to slice the jalapenos to avoid burning your eyes or nose.
  • You can adjust the heat by removing some of the seeds, but the sugar really offsets the heat in the peppers.
  • You can use leftover syrup to make cocktails like jalapeno margaritas.
